    Is it possible to add multiple user groups to a community forum?

    Hi Audrey –

    Only one user segment can be applied to a community topic (or an article in the help center, for that matter). As a workaround, you could create an overarching user segment that includes the criteria of individual user segments you'd like to include. I hope that helps!

    We have a few articles that are currently restricted to agents and admins, and I am looking for a way to provide read-only access to these topics to our internal users (employees). Is there a way to do that without adding everyone to the agents and admins user group?

    Hi Shahrooz, 

    Yes, you can either add a tag to their user profile or assign an organization for this group of users. Then, when creating a user segment, you can filter by tag or organization.

    Hi there!

    Is there a way to make a private community topic but share the direct link to a post within the topic? The thought process here is that the link would live in a training module and direct users to make a post in the community, but ideally we would want it to be visible to just users with the direct link. 

    Thank you,
    Francisco

    Hi Francisco - 

    If you limit the topic to a segment and then share a direct link to a post, anyone in that segment will be able to see it. Anyone not in that segment would receive an error page. All content in a segment-limited topic is visible only to users in that segment.

    Hello Amy,

    it should be possible to add more than 12 Organizations when creating a User segment in Guide.

    I have just tested it from my side and was able to add 16 Organizations without any issues.

     
    Therefore, I would recommend you to 
    - Clear the Cache and Cookies of your Browser
    - try it out of a different Browser/incognito window
    - Make sure that there are no outstanding updates of the Browser or PC itself

    Should it still not work after, please feel free to open a ticket with our Support, so that we can investigate further.
